Pediatric dentist office

[hhsting]

I have pediatric dentist office which has basic level of patient care space. I cannot use NEC 2017 section 517.18(C) since that is for general patient of level care. Looked in 406.12 but dont see where tamper resistant receptacles are required in exam rooms for pediatric dentist office

Is their anything else in NEC 2017 which would require tamper resistant receptacles in pediatric dentist office exam rooms or where patient is going to be examined?

I see no need for them in exam rooms....unlikely the child is in an exam room by himself....and if he is, there would be a lot of things more dangerous than a receptacle that he could get into.

Child is not unattended in waiting rooms but tamper resistant receptacles are required??

It’s about .50 more for TR, put down they are required and move on

The 2020 NEC does not require TR receptacles in exam rooms.
So, you have 3 more years to not worry about it.

I didn't write the code rules....if you don't like them submit PIs to change them.
